Chapter 552: Station

~11 min read 2,127 words

Walking for nearly 20 minutes, Ye Yaodong saw his father's steps getting slower and slower, not as light as before, so he patted his shoulder and let him rest for a while.

Then after resting for about five minutes, he drilled out from under the shoulder pole himself and carried it.

At this moment, Ye Fu didn't rush to do it, walking such a long road, his shoulders were also a bit painful from the pressure.

Just followed by his side and said two sentences, "If you can't do it, just say it."

"A man can't say he can't."

Ye Fu glared at him, he was poor-mouthed towards him, but didn't hold on to it, he hadn't known his son's virtue for the first day.

"If you're tired later, put it down, change to me, take turns carrying, this way we can both rest, we've already entered the city, I guess we'll be there in a while. After arriving, buy something to eat first, fill our stomachs, don't know what time we can transfer to get home at night."

"Hmm."

"If you had bought a shop in the county at that time, you wouldn't have to be so tossed... coming and going from so far away, and there's no convenient car, don't know how many trips you'll have to make later, this travel expense will cost a lot..."

"Tossing yourself to take the car is too much, there are only two buses a day, not like our county town, there is one every hour or two, and it's close, coming and going is convenient..."

Maybe there was no burden on his shoulders, it was much easier, Ye Fu kept nagging while walking.

Ye Yaodong felt tired physically, hungry in his stomach, and had to be tortured by his father mentally, too painful.

"You don't have to say it anymore, there are no gold nuggets to buy in the county, and..." The traffic will be developed later, with high-speed direct access, and it will be there in an hour.

"And why don't you say buy in the town? More convenient, you can walk there, ah right, buy in our village is better, don't have to go outside, you can walk with your eyes closed."

"You, this attitude after saying a few words to you..."

"Already bought, don't flip over and say 'if', 'suppose' and the like, it won't lose money, it's already a nailed-down thing, why flip over and say it every three days."

Annoying to listen to.

"Isn't it because it's troublesome to come and go, and I feel sorry for the travel expenses?"

"Didn't we earn it back? Sold 80 or 90 yuan today, earning 2/3 is also 50 or 60, don't nag, there are pros and cons, as long as we can earn money, what is trouble? Don't be afraid of trouble if you are afraid of being poor, save some saliva, talked for a whole day, thirsty to death."

Ye Fu also closed his mouth.

If it were in the past, he would have had to scold a few words, but the old talk about the shop matter really had no meaning, and it really wasn't necessary to say it.

And, he had already walked into the city, the lively scene around almost stunned Ye Fu's eyeballs, his eyes weren't enough to look, where could he care about talking.

Before going to catch jellyfish, the farthest he had been in his life was the county town, and he had only been there twice, sent by the production team at the time, he hadn't strolled anywhere, and returned to the village immediately after finishing the matter.

After Ye Yaodong's ears were clean, he also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the more people on the street as he walked towards the center, everywhere was the sound of shouting, and the sound of bicycles coming and going, his mood also improved.

"Dad, there are tea eggs sold over there, shall we buy two and eat first? Cushion our stomachs."

Because he thought there was no shortage of food around the market, he didn't let Aqing prepare it at night.

"Hmm, there are scallion pancakes sold over there, buy two?"

"Sure, sure, I'll go, you can't speak Mandarin, watch the burden here, I'll ask by the way how far it is to the station."

"Also good."

Ye Yaodong went and returned quickly, heard that the station was another ten minutes away, they immediately weren't anxious, simply stood on the side of the road and ate first.

During the period, there was a half-grown boy shouting to sell newspapers while walking, and even walked to them, asking if they wanted them.

The father and son were hungry until now, where did they have time to speak? Almost choked by the egg yolk, just shook their heads, the boy selling newspapers left immediately, inquiring about the next target.

Some peddlers carrying poles were also shouting while walking, and were also inquiring about passersby.

The father and son wiped their mouths while eating, and continued to walk towards the station.

Ye Fu also happily said, "This city is really lively, people everywhere, things sold everywhere, bicycles everywhere, it's hard to see a few in our countryside, this road is also good, clean, and the place is big. We've walked for almost an hour, if it were in our countryside, we would have walked to the town, such a long road belongs to the city..."

"Otherwise why is it called a city?"

"Your mother doesn't know if she has a chance to come to the city to take a look in her life, so lively..."

Ye Yaodong listened and found it funny, the fact is indeed so.

He hadn't been to the county town once in his 30 years in his previous life, it's too normal for the older generation not to have been able to come to the city once in their lives.

The old lady hadn't been here, lived to such an old age, the number of times she went to the county town could be counted with 5 fingers.

He smiled and said, "Definitely have a chance, the era is progressing, it will definitely be very convenient to come to the city later."

"The era is also changing, who can say for sure? Maybe it will be unlucky, those years weren't like that."

"It won't be later."

"Hope so, how good it is now, can do anything, can live your own little life, don't have to eat from the big pot all day, the money earned is all your own, there is hope for life."

"Hmm, almost there, should be in front."

The father and son saw that there were people in front, either carrying leather suitcases, or carrying bedding, holding bundles, and couldn't help but speed up their steps.

Everything in this era looks very broken, the station even more so.

The walls around are full of mottled traces, red slogans occupy a whole wall, but there is a large bulletin board on the wall near the station side, with various announcements and recruitment notices posted on it.

The front of the bulletin board is also full of men and women of all kinds, crowding each other, one comes out and another squeezes in, they walked from far to near, and didn't see the people around decrease.

"Dongzi, what's posted on that?"

"Some announcements, and newspapers, and recruitment, and leasing, everything."

"Oh, the information is quite complete, no wonder so many people are crowded in front to watch, and haven't seen it decrease."

Ye Fu stretched his neck and was also very curious, but unfortunately he didn't know characters, otherwise he would have squeezed in to take a look at what was written.

Ye Yaodong wasn't very interested in the bulletin board, after putting down the sack, he let his father watch it.

"It's just past one o'clock, there's still a long time until the 2:30 car, you wait here, lest it's too crowded inside, crowding each other, I'll go into the station to buy the ticket first, confirm the time."

"Good, good, you go, I'll watch here, you also keep the money on you tight, don't get stolen, there are many thieves in this kind of place, if you are not careful, it's easy to be touched away."

"I know, I'm careful."

He was carrying a cloth bag made by Aqing on his back, specifically used to hold money, just in case, he was carrying it close to his body.

First carried a layer of cloth bag, then put on an autumn shirt, then put on a sweater, and finally put on a cotton-padded jacket, with such layer-by-layer protection, it would be strange if it could be stolen.

And he only put 3 yuan of small change in his pocket, this was enough for him and his father to eat and drink and buy tickets, in case it was really taken away, he wouldn't feel bad.

Before when setting up a stall to sell goods, he also received it in his pocket, and then took advantage of the free time to turn his back, lift his clothes, and put the money into the cloth bag.

Although it was only 3 yuan of small change, but if it couldn't be stolen, of course he had to try his best to keep it, he kept his hand in his pocket the whole time, lest it be taken away.

Even when queuing, the money was tightly pinched in his hand, or his hand was in his pocket, and only when buying tickets at the window did he take his hand out to buy.

The result that made him unexpected was that after he bought the ticket, he lowered his head and looked for a few seconds while walking, and then put his hand into his pocket, the result was that his pocket was already empty.

The one yuan plus left from buying the ticket was gone...

It was clearly still there when he took it out to count the money, put it back, walked a few steps with the ticket, and the pocket was empty.

The master is in the folk!

This stunt of the three-handed is really powerful!

Fortunately, his cloth bag was carried close to his body, he could feel it was still there, this kind of place is really too chaotic.

He looked around, and didn't see any suspicious characters, the faces that were either spirited or bitter didn't look abnormal.

This can only be considered unlucky, fortunately there is only one yuan plus left, if it is stolen, it is stolen.

He didn't dare to put the ticket in his pocket, directly pinched it in his hand.

Anyway, the pocket was already empty, he didn't need to put it in his pocket, directly hugged his chest, hugged his chest and continued to squeeze out of the crowd.

In this day and age, hospitals don't have as many people as stations.

After a few years, the popularity of hospitals will catch up and surpass stations.

However, during holidays, the high-speed railway station is even better!

He ran towards the corner where his father was standing, panting and said: "The ticket is bought, the 2:30 one is correct, go in later, wait outside first, go in half an hour early, it's too chaotic inside the station. I just bought a ticket, didn't walk a few steps, the one yuan plus left from buying the ticket in my pocket was gone."

"Ah? Stolen? I said there are many thieves inside, so many people, crowding each other, it's convenient for thieves, told you to be careful..."

"I kept my hand in my pocket the whole time, only took it out when buying the ticket, who knew it was gone in just that moment? Forget it, fortunately, it's only one yuan plus, if it's gone, it's gone, consider myself unlucky."

"Fortunately, it's only one yuan plus, that... is it still there?" Ye Fu looked around, fearing being heard, and said in a small voice.

"Hmm."

"That's good."

Ye Yaodong looked around, and didn't find a place to sit, there were many people sitting on the ground, or squatting, he simply opened the sack, took out a bag from inside and spread it on the ground, and sat down.

He would never stand if he could sit, not to mention he had walked a long way carrying the burden just now, and was quite tired.

"Sit, Dad, rest for a while."

"Hmm."

"What's the smell? A bit fishy?"

After Ye Yaodong sat down, the mouth of the sack wasn't tied, just left there, people passing by sniffed a few times, and all smelled the fishy smell. ===== CHAPTER 553 =====
